My Research

When I’m not writing as Daisy May Johnson, I am an academic under the name Dr Louise Johnson. I teach children’s literature and creative writing. My research specialise in children’s literature from the early-mid twentieth century, the boarding school story, juvenilia and women’s writing. I’m interested in how writing and writers explore identity and gender, and the relationship between space and place in writing.
